Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- Blackwind is a science fiction action game where you play as a boy looking for his father on a hostile planet. To make this task a bit easier, he has a mech suit called a battle frame that can lay waste to the numerous enemies that await him. It releases on the Nintendo Switch this week - is it worth getting? Well, let's find out...

A decent game that could do with a little refinement. Hopefully we'll see a patch at some point. Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments section.

Happy gaming. Glen
Switch corner panned this game! I'm surprised it got the score from you that it did.
@@kevindawley54 with respect to both channels (which I love and support) that's why I always check
more than one review. many aspects come down personal opinion. which is obviously gonna differ.
Watching this just reminded me how badly we need a good serving of mech games on the Switch
For sure mate! Glen
Hopefully armed core comes in 2022. Mechwarrior 5 isn’t good. But gundam online might be
@@michaelschneider1365 yeah this is basically what I was referring to haha armored core would be amazing
@@RobertJohnLora I’m maybe buy this
This makes me want Transformers War for Cybertron on switch, now that was a game!
This is going to be a discount buy. I love mech games but this sounds a bit too rough around the edges for me. Thanks as always lads!
Its on sale now!
@@jeremyrushing5951 thanks! I'll check it out :D
I really like the fact that you take people's wallets into account when giving your score. Its important, with so many games on the switch that we spend our dollars wisely, especially when said dollars can be hard to come by.
Absolutely right mate!
This would have been an excellent game on the PS1, and I mean that in a good way. Adding it to the wishlist
Your reviews are excellent! I am from the UK, too, being disabled , your mention of text size is really helpful
1:24 wow that voice really spooked me out when it came through my headphones
Those Termination attacks remind me so much of DOOM Eternal's glory kills
Cheers Glen. Great review. Similar verdict to that of Switch Corner.
Thanks for the review! As it stands right now, this is gonna be a pass for me. It seems to have warts in all the wrong places as far as my personal preferences and pet peeves go. I've still got Daemon x Machina when I feel the itch for some high-octane mech action.
I was looking forward to this, LOVE Mechs big time! Well done Glen!
Currently on sale. I’ve been craving a mech game so badly i may just have to give it a go...
I’m interested in this one but will wait for a patch and a sale before picking up. Thanks for the vid
Reminds me of implosion. I may give it a go but I prefer my mech games like Daemon X and Project Nimbus but it’s interesting looking so my wait for a sale.
Looks a fairly substandard affair - good review as always👍
How long to beat? It's not bad at all im enjoying it if your just looking for something to mindless kill things where you don't really need to pay attention
I just realized. You remind me of X-Play! That’s why I love these reviews and this channel so much. Any chance for an Adam Sesslar co-review one of these days? :D
When I saw this one in the upcoming game video I was excited! From the trailer looked worth a look. Little disappointed with the final product though. Looks like this is one to skip
Looks great! Can you review a "Runner"?)
There was a point in blackwind 4 -5 hours in where I had to go back to a previous area. The second level . I had no idea what i was supposed to do. Went back to the second level door it wouldn’t open . I had a yellow card key, I had no idea where it was supposed to go. I had Looked up play throughs multple times to see what I missed . What a headache
I was interested in getting this game, I will probably get it (if I get it) on the Xbox instead of the Switch, but I still trust your guys’s reviews the most. 👍
A mech game? Love it already.
Glad I waited for your review lads. I will wait for a sale I think. But combat does look pretty fun.
I get a Darksiders Genisis with Mech suits vibe. Will be getting when on discount!
your vibes need counseling. just.
I'm a Darksiders fan. have every
game available on Xbox and switch.
Genysis was my last favorite and only
because the characters were just way
too tiny. 90% of my switch play is hh.
I play most Xbox games on a 17" tablet
screen or 9" one. so the screen size doesn't
help, but I even tried it on a 55" lid tv and
still thought they were too small.
sorry. I realize you didn't ask.
Wow I was expecting this to be better based on the visuals. Pretty surprising.
Hope you do shredders revenge when it comes out
So, it’s kind of a Mecha-Darksiders. Quite nice!
I really like mechas, I will wait for a patch maybe and a sale
Good shout!
Aww was hoping for something more like armoured core
Is there a difficulty setting for this game? Like can I choose between easy or hard?
Yes
Yeah... I'll check it out when it goes on sale
Ah man this looks so on the edge of good with a sprinkling of great. Definitely going to mark this for a price drop buy.
Somehow, gameplay footage on this channel always looks so low-quality. Like there's some sort of capture problem or something. I love the content, but often wonder why the games look so bad, only to find they don't when watching footage on different channels. It's just on here, and on all devices I've tried it on. Even if I set the video quality to the highest possible settings, like 1080p 60fps, it still looks terribly low-res, like it was captured at sub-HD resolutions or something. 🤔
Going to love this game. Retro all the way Mech me up n let's see how many times I can fail n be back at it.
I honestly rather put in three times that for Musashi Megaton even if I don’t understand a lick of Japanese. Yes they are completely different genres and price tags but if it’s for a mech lovers that want some action, Musashi is great for quick smashing action. If you want piloting, Project Nimbus is a good cheap one, Daemon X Machina is pricy but I honestly think it’s worth the tag. Heck, for the same top-down asymmetric camera angle and action gameplay as Blackwind I would go as far as go for Metallic Child. Sure it’s a rogue-lite but it’s pretty forgiving and the controls are not as janky.
You giving a lot of leeway on the platforming for Blackwind. It felt so janky that at first I thought that my joycons got busted overnight that I cracked open a new pair I had laying around at the depths of my carry case to make sure.
More like Glen Banga! Cuz he BANGIN out these games!
The fact that this plays like a GoW-like doesn't really sell the power fantasy of being in a "mech". Just doesn't have the weight or scale that mechwarrior and armored core convey. God I miss the classic MechWarrior games.
This game reminds me a lot of Implosion. Both are top down action games with mechs.
How would you compare it with that?
Guess that due to the fact that implosion runs at 60fps that would be the winner
Great review.. still going to buy it.
I hate the attitude of buying games in sale price but from the reviews I have seen that seems the idea around. Maybe a patch or two later and it will be worth base price.
Sometimes certain aspects of games warrant it unfortunately. Glen
Thanks for the review.
Looks like a decent enough hack and slash game, but the kids name makes me want to go watch Treasure Planet now. (Close enough to Jim Hawkins)
Hey there my friends. How’s life across the pond these days?? I’m so sorry I haven’t checked in with you guys lately but reattach assumes I’m always checking that like button and watching your videos. Edit: I truly hope this is a decent game as I love a good mech game but they seem to be hit or miss. Edit 2: DAMNIT lol
Hey Reagon, good to hear from you mate! Yeah, a bit rough around the edges, this one, but not a terrible game. Needs a patch though. Glen
Excellent review Glen.
Cheers mate!
Looks like alienation and darksouls hybrid. I like it. 20€ would be more acceptable price.
Thanks for your work.
I’m really excited for this one
Going to give it a try on the ps5
ARMOURED CORE VIBES
I would love a good mech game for the switch, this will not scratch that itch. Makes me wish fasa corporation was still around
Looks alright. I'll wait for a sale though
Don't get the complete sense of frustration and despair in your review Switch Corner felt in his. Almost wanted to give him a hug listening to his trials and tribulations.
Yeah I haven't seen his review but did hear that he found it quite frustrating. Not so much for me, more that a few odd choices let it down a bit. Glen
I was really hyped for this game after seeing the trailer, kind looked like it could be a mech Hades, and I like the look, so disappointed it ended up being so wack.
So.... it's like Hades
@@557deadpool is it?
The game looks really good, the idea itself isn't super unique, but I might try it!
No, it's not. At least on switch. Check Metroid Dread
Reminds me of implosion never lose hope
Thank you for the video
A shame, it doesn’t seem to live up to its potential. Wouldn’t mind playing a decent mech game myself! Cheers for the great review
Cheers mate! Glen
honest to god one of the best channels for proper reviews done by humans not ign skinbots, love yas
Best puns on UA-cam.
they should had just focused on 1 or 2 mechanics and polish it up really good. Honestly I thought it was gonna be more of a shmup with elements of exploration.
I like the doom eternal style executions
Hope to see this in an all patched up.
I got witcher 3 with all dlc for $15 so anytime a game is over $15 i raise my rock eyebrow
Looks super fun!
Damn I had high hopes for this one
Looks like it needs a lot of patching and a full screen map option... come on developers. How do we keep going backwards?
I would prob have nice, mindless fun if it was a super discount like Saints 4 was
Too bad there were so many gripes. This looked pretty interesting.
This is half price at the moment. Has it been patched?
Gameplay-wise this is pure hack-and-slash, right? No way to be stealthy, surprise/ambush enemies etc?
No, all about the hack-and-slash in this one. Glen
SwitchUp Thanks Glen, appreciate it!👌
This game looked like it could be Mech Diablo 3 if it really wanted to be.
Blackwind sort of reminde of my old time favorite games of this tme, Crusader: No Remorse. It had LOTS of interaction with switches and computers in the environment, and eventually you'd learn how to use things like waste drums as bombs. However Blackwind is almost but not quite to a point of being a full price game. If they fix the problems you mention in a patch I would probably buy it.

Not a game for me, but great review!
Went all in with the pre sale. Seems worth it despite grievances.
Glad you're enjoying it.
Love these janky fun games. Haven't had many good ones since xbox360.
Bummer. I was hoping this was going to be a gem.
I've got it ........ It's the robotic wizard
Nice.
Nice
Hopefully they patch the hell out of it on the quick-
Is this your best and worst opening pun? I think so.
I see giant robots, I hit like.
I had high hopes
Great game but I'm not that interested into it :/ but waiting for a new sale video :)
Gonna pass. My favorite mech game on the switch is still Into the Breach.
I'm getting a bit of Anthem vibes from this game and we all know how that ended up 🤔
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As long as no game does worse than "Hollow Space" I guess they can be proud...
This is possibly unpopular opinion, I don't know, you tell me, but I don't like the overuse of "glory kills". I get it that they are meant to push you into battle and award you for a more aggressive gameplay, but sometimes they just slow the pace and after you've seen the few animations available it gets repetitive. It's really tricky to pull off properly as a mechanic in a game imho.
I agree. They become repetitive to watch after a while. Glen
😎🤙👍👍
100% should be some gundam skins in the game
Such a shame, this should have been right up my alley x
Score should be 1/10 why 1/20? Apart from that great game!!!
meanwhile on ps5......
Not for me, thanks for the video!
Think I’ll pass on this one I’d probably spend 90% off the game going in circles looking for pass codes
Love Mech games, as far as I know I own all of them on Nintendo Switch, as long as they have physical versions.
Sadly, this will release physically only for PS5, a very ridiculous decision I believe.
They would have sold way more copies of this game on the Switch I'm sure.
mechs are moving too fast and fluid for me. Might make you feel as if its not mechs that you are controlling.
While I am sure that some will find good entertainment value in it, Blackwind just doesn't appeal to me.
A little disappointed, really looking for a fun action mech game. Likely a +40% discount pickup
